Checking Your Mixes on Various Monitors

To make sure that your mixes will sound good to each and every listener, it’s a goods practice to evaluate your mixes on 3 or more different monitors (speakers, headphones, earbuds, car stereo, smart speaker, mobile phone built-in speaker, boombox, TV speakers, etc.).

Different speakers reveal different aspects of the sounds and overall mix — good and bad — and after listening on 3 or more monitors you will become aware of things you may want to fix in the mix, including the EQ of each participants voice, the compression of each participants voice, the relative volume of voices vs. intro/outro music vs. sound FX, music fades, etc.

What 3 monitors can you check your mixes on?
